Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical potential energy is the chemical energy stored (or property) of a substance. One chemical potential energy of wood is combustion. Combustion involves the burning of a substance in excess oxygen (in this case open air). <u>The chemical energy stored here is transformed to thermal/heat energy after combustion due to the large amount of heat evolved/produced</u>.

NOTE:

The model above also that combustion is an exothermic reaction because it involves the release of heat into it's surrounding.

You have 400 kg of a radioactive substance with a short half-life of 1000 years. how much will be left after these times?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount.

In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg

Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.

Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.

Answer 3) For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.

What is the quantum number set of the ground-state electron that is found in lithium (Li) but not in helium (He)?

statuscvo [17]

The electron configuration of lithium atom is: $Li:[He]2s^1$

The number "2" is the value of the principal quantum number "n". Letter "s" is associated with the value of secondary quantum number "l" and it is equal to zero. The value of "m" (or magnetic quantum number) is zero too. The quantum number set for the highest energy electron will be (2, 0, 0, 1/2).
